Why do you care about public opinion in a technical journal? It's not relevant. That's like including a section on intelligent design in a book on biology or trying to accommodate those who think a BWR power plant can explode like an atomic bomb in a book on reactor design.
That's the beauty of science and engineering - you don't have to pander to those that don't actually know what's going on. Only reality matters.
Now, if you're writing a book on the public policies, etc. regarding these things, that's different. Otherwise, why even pander? Personal biases and anecdotal stories add no value when it comes right down to it.
